Here's some info on how to refurbish injectors. RJM and other vendors have kits.

Injector Rebuild

Here's another DIY link DIY Injector cleaning

Lame, I was hoping I could take the hole thing apart.

Well I will start soaking the injectors tomorrow for a few days
I saw this video, the fact that I can hardly get 80psi out of mine tells me that mine are very dirty and must be my problem.

Sooo, I fired up the motor and unplugged the #5 injector and it didnt make any difference so I plugged it back in and unhooked #6 and ran worse.
So I unhooked #3 and then #4 #3 made it run a little worse but idle was still the same.

Think my injectors are bad? Cus that would make my mpg be really bad and run lean.?

Run the cylinder contribution test.

Just cleaning them in a bucket of solvent does not tell you if they are good or bad, get them flow tested.

Man that test sounds like a pain.
I had a scanner hooked up awile ago and the codes where normal beside a number8 miss fire...but I expected that

System isn't smart enough to know when injectors are not working properly.

well i got my injectors cleaned and he said they where just full of crud but all flow the same and are working perfect. and i remember my tank was rusty and nasty so i got another one frome Steve StClair.

well i got the tank and cleaned it this morning and put my injectors in wile it was drying out.

i looked at my intake and one of the hose's had a gash in it and the port on the intake was bent (hit my booster bracket) and another hose was very hard and full of cracks and another hose that had a hole in it from a bolt on the fire wall. and a gasket covering my EGR hole was split in half some how? fixed all that and used hose clamps on all the ends.



installed the tank and checked for leaks and bled the fuel rail and put the intake on and what not. it fired right up and it's running WAY WAY better then it did in the past.



now..my old tank had 4 gallons of gas in it and it's not that old but i cant deside if i should use it in the bronco or my truck or if it's any good. it's a little darker then fresh gas but dose not smell bad.

Followed this thread from the beginning. I'm very happy to see you got the bugs worked.

 

[Viperwolf1]

Glad you got it going. Old gas is only good for campfire starter.

 

[broncomitch]

well it's a month old and i figure ill run some fuel additive in the tank.. i put 2.5 in the bronco and the rest is for the lawnmower

 

[broncojames]

so did you wind up using the tbird computer or the mustang ? iv got a 92 tbird in the driveway and thinking of dropping it in my bronco

 

[broncomitch]

I'm using the tbird computer, I never did try the mustang computer now that it's running better. But when I get back from Cali I'll try it and see if it smooths out my idle.

Almost all of my problems where cus I didn't have the car with me and people kept taking parts off and using a different motor.

It will be a good swap for ya.

 

[broncomitch]

So here is a quick update lol

I'm still having problems with the EFI

People's are telling me to redue my exhaust and replace the O2 sensors

I plugged in the mustang computer and seems to be doing better but it's to early to tell and I'm sure it's not it.

I would really love this thing fixed before the bronco safari...
